Complete MMORPG Development Guide

Hello everyone.
I have the MMORPG Advanced Tutorials completely rewritten for TGE 1.4, with all kinds of new features.
The new tutorial series is called "The Complete MMORPG Development Guide"
It is meant to take a person from the earliest stages of developing a game Conceptualization, Design Docs etc to a ready to ship MMO.
I am in the process of transcribing it to my site at mydreamrpg.com
This will be the final incarnation of the guide until there is a TSE for linux, at which time I will again do a port.
To access the development portions of the site as well as the code sections of the guide you will need to be a current TGE licensee. (currently you will need to be verified by emailing me after registration)
I am also launching a game based on the tutorials, as well as a second site DreamRPGOnline devoted exclusively to the game.
The guide is meant to be a living document and as new and better ways are discovered of doing things, it will be updated by the community that is building up around it.
A secondary goal is to provide a plethora of content for people looking to create rich worlds using the MMORPG enchancement kit I will be providing at no charge, as well as an open market for up and coming artists and coders to sell their content to help subisdize their own game development desires.
I want to stress upfront that this site is NOT meant to compete in anyway with garagegames, in fact to access the vast majority of content on the site you will need to be a TGE licensee.
In fact it is my strong desire to spur sales here of indie games and content, and to increase the interest and awareness of crossplatform indie created games.
I also (quite intentionally), make heavy use of content and packs which can only be purchased here at garagegames.com
Without these packs the full richness of the guide and MMORPG enchancement kit cannot truely be experienced.
I hope everyone here enjoys the site and at least comes to pay us a visit.
We will be doing a load test and server burn in on our game servers as soon as I have enough users on the site who wish to participate and I could sure use your help in doing this.
Regards,
Dreamer

Most likely we will export them to .pdf (to maximize viewing convience) and put them as a free resource either here or at GarageGames, or possibly both.
I would like everyone with access to the current tutorials to please help me by proofreading and making spelling and grammar edits to whats in the wiki, and by this weekend I will start posting them.

Due to the obvious demand for the tutorials and after consulting with the community, we will be making the first 10 sections of the tutorials (they represent the complete and stable code base as it stands at the moment) freely available outside of the wiki, as the other sections come online get tested and approved, they too will recieve the conversion and posting process.Most likely we will export them to .pdf (to maximize viewing convience) and put them as a free resource either here or at GarageGames, or possibly both.

maybe admins of either GG or MMOKIT should make a statement here so that nobody else is misled.
